I love this photograph. As a runner, I know that the first moment of the race is one of the most tense, wondering who will have a good start, who will be in front , what will happen next. That is the reason I love this photograph, taken by Osamu Hayasaki. The lighting is really amazing in how it shows the people from first place to last place, at the time, in lightest to darkest lighting. The Tokyo 1964 across the bottom, designed by Yusaku Kamekura, seem to point out what the olympics are all about, saying that the competition will all be this tense, always. This seems to be the way that all designers and photographers for the Olympics have worked since the use of works like this.
